One of the main reasons for the Dutch naval supremacy was the fact that they constructed ships by pooling money. Infact I accepted to pay it, hoping that I can sell the idea of the company to the captain of those 5 ships, they would represent his investment. Lets just hope that we can fill all that space...as for now, it seems to me that we have cargo excess.I have no problem in depending on the colony for anything, infact I will heavily depend on them on several issues (food, clothes, builings and so on). However keep in mind that I am really set to make this company a colossus, so I would prefer if they joined the it too: this way we have more shared interests and concerns, and I will have no concern of expanding, as they would share the benefits).If you say that my estimate of the food is too high, what do you say about this: Food for 1 year for 500 people plus fresh water for the voyage (ok, I admit that the fresh water costs almost nothink, aside for the barrels). How much would it cost? If there are moneys left I could invest them with the others for fishing nets and seeds.One of the spells in question is Bottle of smoke: essentially it is a ling duration flying horse for anyone whom I give the bottle (50sp focus), but it gets dispelled in case of a strong wind, so it is not really save to fly with it. It can be used as a way to give low level scouts amazing travel capabilities...if there is no menace of strong winds. For example, it could be used to keep a scout 1000ft above the fleet, so that he spots any ship in advance thanks to his farther horizon line.[/sblock]I already have many issues on my mind, so I would prefer if Hennet takes control over our food production. I would assist as much as you ask me to, of course. So, to sum up, we are setting up for three major sources of food: fish, with the fishing nets, wheat with the fast varieties at first and we will see what later, and meat with goats and such. Seems pretty good to me. We may even find some local variety of crops. Contrary to what I said a little while, I may have some more money to invest...I am not sure. If that is the case, I will help with the wheat. Besides, many of my workers will work in the agricultural field, at least a hundred.</blockquote>
